About Doug

1. My name is Doug. Simple, right? Seriously, this blog at http://www.doughibbard.com, utilizes my name. I'm not in any form of business that requires a creative name.

2. I am happily married. Seriously. Ann and I got married in 1998, and haven't regretted it since. She's smarter than I am, and a better writer. She's at http://www.annhibbard.com She's not the only Ann Hibbard, and you can check that out on her blog under the tab "The Other Ann Hibbard."

3. I have children. At least 3. You will occasionally see them mentioned by name, but often I will blur them into anonymity. I will tell stories about them, because they are part of my life and learning.

4. I am currently a Baptist pastor, specifically in a Southern Baptist Church. This is what I think is my life's calling, at least at the moment.

5. I have no idea if I will ever make money from blogging. I'm not sure I want to, because if I start making money, I'll have to be consistent. I'll think about it…

6. If you have direct questions, ask them. I'm not going to think of everything you want to know.

7. I'm likely to, at various points in my blogging, be a student of varied educational institutions. I'll try not to embarrass those places, and I'll ask you as a reader not to let them embarrass me. My school choices are primarily about where I can graduate from an accredited institution, not finding a place to rubber stamp all I think, and I believe I should find places that challenge me. So, don't assume I'm a model student.

8. That's all I've got for now…

The Heart Mender: A Story of Second ChancesEver read a book that you just kind of wish is true? That's my take on The Heart Mender by Andy Andrews. It's a charming story of love and forgiveness, and it's woven into the historical setting of World War II America. For the narrative alone, the book is worth the read, but the message it contains is well worth absorbing as well.However, let's drop back a minute. This book was originally published under the title Island of Saints. I read Island of Saints and enjoyed it greatly. Now, Andrews has released it under a new title, with a few minor changes. All of this is explained in the Author's Note at the beginning, but should be noted for purchaser's sake. If you read Island of Saints, you're rereading when you read The Heart Mender. Now, go ahead and reread it. It will not hurt you one bit.Overall, the story is well-paced. There are points where I'd like more detail, both in the history and the geog…

A quick note: This book, The Gospel Call and True Conversion, is currently available on Kindle for $4.99. This is the second in a series of 3, and the first, The Gospel’s Power and Message, is available for $2.99.The Gospel Call and True Conversion. The title of this book alone sounds intimidating, and adding that it’s written by one of the heavyweights of American Reformed Christianity, Paul Washer, does not lessen the intimidation factor. Washer is known to be a straightforward preacher—for good or for ill.What did I find in The Gospel call and True Conversion? I found some things to like:1. Paul Washer is passionate for the truth. He wants to know the truth. He wants to proclaim the truth. He wants the truth heard. He wants you to know the truth. This is good. It is good to see someone not try to base theology on popularity or as a response to modern events, but to base it clearly on truth. 2. There is a strong emphasis on the reality that true conversion (from the title) will resu…
